Текст песни: Little Waterloo + перевод

There comes a time in a young man’s life when he should settle down

But I’ve gotta catch that next fair deal before it hits the ground —

I’m on my way, I’m gonna make it pay

Go ask anybody, it’s happened more than once —

I’ll step out for a minute and be gone for seven months —

Got a little bit lost, I forgot my watch

Oh, I’m going away, I’m going to stay, and never coming home

Gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come

When the winter wind begins to blow, the ground is covered up with snow —

You’ll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man

You’re gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to come

I’m livin' in the highways, just tryin' to catch a car

It’s «Where you going, buddy?» «Well, I’m going wherever you are —

I’m satisfied, just to take a little ride.»

Life’s a lot like poker, you can’t win if you don’t play —

Gonna bankroll my tomorrow and pawn my yesterday

I’ll trust in God, but I’ll cut the cards

Oh, I’m going away, I’m going to stay, and never coming home

Gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come

When the winter wind begins to blow, the ground is covered up with snow —

You’ll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man

You’re gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to come

I’m going round the world, what do you think of that?

Going all the way around the world, I’m never coming back —

Never comin' home, goin' away to roam

Oh but I won’t go to San Antone or anywhere near France —

That’s two last things, I said that’s two

That I’m never never never ever ever gonna do

So can’t you see? It’s guaranteed — there isn’t any chance

I’ll meet my Alamo, my little Waterloo
